7/25 - Fish (Johnson) @ Cubs (Demps), 1:20 CT, WGN

[Derwood]

Nice start. Let's score 7

[CuseCubFan69]

2 smoked balls and no runs, way to battle Demp.

[UMFan83]

Nice start. Let's score 7

 

I'm sick of you always lowering your expectations about this team. Let's score 14.

[Laura]

Lou said on the radio pregame show that Marmol will close today if there is a save situation.

 

Well, that's not good.

 

Is this more confidence-building?

[Derwood]

How come Friday afternoon games no longer start at 2:20?

 

Cubs agreed to move them to 1:20 to address neighborhood traffic concerns. I think they might have gotten extra night games in exchange, too.

 

I like this 2:20 start! It's about time the world accepted EST.

 

Chicago should be in EST. I like it getting dark at 9:45 in the summer

 

Yeah, moving 300 or so miles west has added a lot of extra daylight to my days

Thank you. I remember now.

[haubrich91]

That was gross.

[Derwood]

Soriano K's on a pitch that almost hit him in the face

[UMFan83]

Didn't seem like a great AB by Soriano

[Derwood]

when will team's put a reverse shift on Theriot? His spray chart has to be pretty heavy towards right center

[UMFan83]

Please don't do what I think you are going to do GIDLee

[Derwood]

Theriot needs to stop stealing bases. Because he doesn't actual steal them

[E.J.]

Theriot thrown out again. Big surprise.

[TysonCBulls423]

Damnit Riot, why are you so freakin slow?

[Careless]

Can we please, please never have Theriot try to steal another base? he's worse than Ramirez

[CuseCubFan69]

Didn't seem like a great AB by Soriano

 

Is Lee's DP quest the MLB or Cub all time record?

 

Nice throw on a curve by the catcher.

[UMFan83]

Smart move to steal to avoid a potential grounder. Bad move to have Theriot steal because he's not very good at it.

[Guest]

Nice call, Lou.

[Rob]

Theriot isn't really a basestealer...

[Derwood]

Lee k'd anyways. brilliant inning

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Imagine if someone decided the Marlins should have even a normal payroll next year. They could get Sabathia and Teixeira and not break into the top 20 in payroll.

 

Ramirez

Hermida

Uggla

Teixeira

Cantu

Willingham

Ross

Cather

 

Sabathia, Olsen, Nolasco, Miller, Volstad

 

Wow.

Nice throw on a curve by the catcher.

 

All time record, according to baseball reference

[Bull]

Theriot thrown out again. Big surprise.

He was trying to prevent the DP

[TysonCBulls423]

Can we please, please never have Theriot try to steal another base? he's worse than Ramirez

 

In case you missed it, Len wanted to know of the errors you said he made at Arizona.

I'd bust a guy inside after he comes back form an injury from being hit.
